When I try to do a describe-variable on delete-active-region, it says
"no match" (and likewise while writing the name of said variable if I try
to autocomplete it with the tab key, it doesn't find it).
If I add a "(setq delete-active-region t)" to my .emacs file, it has no
effect. (Now describe-variable says that its value is t, but has no
documentation on it.)
Btw, I notice that I failed to mention the version of emacs in my original
post. It's full version is listed as
GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.7)
of 2011-10-30 on build17
I have been fighting with this problem for two days now. If I can't find
a solution, I think the only solution left is to get and build an older
version of emacs. It would be nicer if I had not to do that (because I would
have to bypass OpenSuse's package management) and if the problem were fixable
with just a magic line in .emacs.
